I ironically learned about herding the yakows without hitting them because my mom pointed out how cruel it seemed to hit the animals and that often if they are farm raised they could be herded without hurting them, her grandma owned a farm. My mind was blown and ever since then I try to avoid punching the bovines.
This is undoubtedly the most entertaining video I’ve seen from you. Limiting the mechanics of the game really makes for some very interesting and entertaining solutions. The editing is fantastic, including clips of other people doing the challenge, it’s all awesome. What an incredible idea that paid off spectacularly! Also, I died at this part 💀 36:30
I'm very happy everyone enjoyed (or didn't enjoy) the mod. The fact that almost every person locked themselves out of a single orb in the orb caches made me very satisfied. Now that Josh has posted, I have some "impossible" tasks to figure out. Getting into snowy with just jump is already achievable.
@@OutrageousJosh There's more coming too, I'm working on at least 4 other mods. This was one of my dumb ideas, I'm glad it brought people joy. Just wait til I have a halfway decent idea.
Amazing Guide! 20:25 I used the invincibility after getting hit to jump onto that frog to ledgegrab that platform. Using the spin would have been easier lmao
Hear me out, release a mod like this every fiscal quarter, with different modifiers (I mean like anything eco effects, ability restrictions, increased jump height) and have like a seasonal speedrun or something! Just an idea.
i think every game should have a speedrun contest like mitchflowerpowers super mario 3. where theres a point system for doing various other tricks or side things and then points for time. promotes more random routing and cool side things.
This challenge was the most fun Ive had playing Jak 1 in ten years. Sure speedruns develop new strats periodically but for a more casual player this was more approachable, while still making me rethink most of the game.
I love that jak is getting content, jak is one of my favorite series and it seems not much people know about it, so I love watching jak and daxter videos like these and all the mods and the pc port
Fantastic video Josh, really enjoyed learning about this challenge stuff for pretty much the first time. So you inspired me, just now I've been doing some testing with Snowy Mountain. You can cross the gap by jumping on and sliding across the cliff wall. You get on there by forcing a crouch jump within a Lurker, or by jumping from a sat boulder and using a spin kick. Easier the spin kick way but also simple without! I'm also sure you could pass over the shield to sink the buttons with the force jump crouch. The power cell in Boggy Swamp on that platform, I managed to get that with a force crouch inside the frog ha.
Really love your videos and streams man, you’re keeping my absolute childhood favorite alive and interesting. I appreciate the effort you put into this video, keep up the great work, josh!
I was really excited for this, I've beaten this game so many times and thought, finally, a new challenge. Couldn't get past Geyser Rock lmao. So excited to see what other cool stuff comes out in future.
Amazing video! That was a fun (and some times very frustrating) challenge. I found several more spin-less orbs: - You can actually enter the Snowy Mountains area. Stand next to the rocky wall near the gap, wait for an enemy to come close, and jump so the enemy hits you in the air. If you do it right you will get extra height to life you on the rocks, and you will slide to the other side. Inside the Snowy area itself I managed to get 83 orbs. However, without spin I didn't manage to get a single power cell (some are possible with spin later on). Total: 86 orbs. - In Spider Cave, I managed to get extra 6 orbs from a crate in the spider tunnel (next to the robot). First, you need to collect some yellow eco from the scaffolding near the entrance to the tunnel, and shoot all the spider eggs you can from a distance. After that, you need to collect lot of yellow eco - start with the 3 on the left side, and then the 3 on the right side, and walk straight to the tunnel with what you have. You should barely have enough yellow eco left to shoot the first crate, without spiders bothering you at the entrance. This is much harder than it sounds, and took me around 20-30 minutes to accomplish. Total: 189 orbs. With those extra orbs, my final spinless orbs count is 1551.
5:02 I actually learned from Ruh's Mythbusters series that you can clip out of the temple without fighting the plant boss. So you're not soft locked! But i don't think it changes much. You lose one PC from the plant boss and without the spin kick you're missing out on 4 others: the flut flut egg, the 2 flut flut powercells, and the dang boggy swamp PC tantalizing you. So you're stuck at 68 power cells (almost nice). At best it may help optimize a route for a speedrun. But I'm guessing that Part 2 is gonna blow my mind with a way around some "unobtainable" PC's :)
You can still get a few of the orbs in the temple without the spin kick if you use an idle deload to get out, but don't get any power cells or you'll be stuck forever!
Oh, didn't know you could finish Scout Flies in FJ, definitely one cell I missed there. Definitely didn't like the Boggy cell staring you right in the face :) Interesting way to get to Klaww, I jumped on the invention and fell off of it carrying the crouch state to high jump up to the edge. Definitely a fun and interesting challenge, still sad about Snowy though...
I accidentally downloaded this version since the mod launcher only downloads the latest release. Because I’m stubborn and didn’t feel like installing a different version manually, I completed this one. Admittedly, I did need help. I couldn’t figure out how to leave Geyser Rock. I also entertained myself by reading a few comments where I found out about entering Snowy Mountain and holding crouches, but not how to do them, so I had to figure those out. Having the ability to attack again was so nice and I rode that high through the rest of the game. I think the most satisfying Power Cell to get with only jump was the Boggy Swamp ambush. That killed me so many times.
Having now watched this video, there are a few Orbs and Cells that you got that I didn't, but a couple of Cells I did (plus the Snowy Mountain Orbs that saved me). Forbidden Jungle: I never thought of using the temple Blue Eco to get the last Scout Fly and nearby couple of Orbs. I never got close with the Eco from the vent used to open the temple door. Luckily, with 22 available Cells, I didn't need that one. Misty Island: I did skip the ambush. I knew from having watched the original Microtransactions video that the jump to the Cell was possible, so I just did that. I didn't get all the orbs. I definitely never got the cache and I'm pretty sure I left a few scattered. I told myself this was one of the first places I would come back to if I was short. Obviously, Snowy Mountain made that a nonissue. Rock Village: I got some much more accidental help here. I thought the bridge Orbs were too high to collect. After I defeated Klaww, accessed through storing a couple crouches, I wanted to see how you got to him. When I clicked the link for the chapter, I saw you had just gotten all of the Orbs there, confirming it was possible, so I tried again and figured out how to get them. My method was just constantly jumping as the Orbs reached the lowest point of their animation. Boggy Swamp: I didn't know those last couple of Orbs were possible. I came back for them after buying the spin because I felt like it. I did make up for the missing Scout Fly Cell here, though. I got the second tether Cell by using the frog you recklessly killed. By taking damage, you can jump on it with invincibility frames. From there, you get enough height to reach the Cell. For the unnamed locations, things went more or less the same. There were a few Cells you got in Hub 3 that I didn't, but there was plenty of freedom for Cells at that point. I did go back for the last Forbidden Jungle Scout Fly using the Plant Boss Eco.
You can abuse the physics to jump over the fence, slide a bit, do an airstep, jump a bit further and land on a rock that allows you to jump in a crouched state and crouchjump up. In the last geyser rock power cell part.
Josh, I’ve been trying this challenge out for the past couple days and I gotta ask, how did you manage to get out of the rising dark eco in LPC? I just can not seem to get enough height to ledge grab after the second lurker! I’ve been trying to see if I can damage off the lurker for a little extra height but I haven’t been able to make that work. Am I on the right track?
I bet this took a lot of effort to edit, thank you for this video, I absolutely love all this OpenGOAL Jak content, truly can't wait till there is support for all Jak games
Been up til way-too-late-o-clock last night because I was so damn close to that orb target. Things picked up so fast after grabbing that spin kick it feels like a victory lap LOL Also uhhh protip, you don't have to do the ambush without the spin kick, so it was way easier saving it til after lmfao.
It was a good challenge. I made it past precursor basin and down in lost precursor city but I kept dying to lurkers on the way up the dark ego cylinder. Unfortunately I found out my recorder stopped recording about halfway through my playthrough
@@Ghostweston th-cam.com/video/o-80ZIq9wZY/w-d-xo.html go to this video and go into the description. You must have an ISO copy of jak and daxter to make it work.
haven't watched the full thing yet so this may very well be answered already, but: - You didn't use the zoomer to collect scout flies in misty - You didn't use the rock to get a glitched crouch to high jump to a scout fly in sentinel Is it theoretically possible that if you abused these glitches, you could get enough powercells to never need to buy spin? Could we potentially have a jump only playthrough? that would be absolutely incredible and I NEED this to be possible! just a dumb thought that I'm sure you've also had, I will now watch the rest and cry when I find out why spin is necessary :(
Despite all the bullshit of the last 3 years, at least openGOAL is here to bring back the first videogame I ever owned and make a native PC port so I can play it some some modern amenities we sometimes take for granted.
If there's ever another sequel I hope gol and maia return somehow, cause they probably will mutate like Daxter only that they will turn into ugly monsters.

Love this style of editing, was expecting just a quick playthrough of the challenge but a more in depth commentary was a pleasant surprise!

such a fun challenge havent had this much fun in a while
This was such a delight to watch! A great big thanks to Himham! What a G. I can’t wait for the next challenges
I've been excited for this video!
Banger video Josh :) I was busy that week so couldn’t participate in the challenge KEKW. Maybe another time tho 🤔
The amount of people who didn't know they can do Yakows without resorting to animal cruelty (punching or spinning). Wow
my head still hurts from this challenge.. was still fun :D

Don’t want to say too much, but there’s more than that! That’s what part 2 will be for :)
Amazing! I would have never expected this to be possible, loved the video. I'll wait for part 2 👀
5:02 I actually learned from Ruh's Mythbusters series that you can clip out of the temple without fighting the plant boss. So you're not soft locked!

Yes, but you need the spin kick to extend Jak’s hitbox to actually be able to clip out!
You can still get a few of the orbs in the temple without the spin kick if you use an idle deload to get out, but don't get any power cells or you'll be stuck forever!
I did the exact same thing dropkickmurphy did in fj, rip that one orba
Love the challenge, and all the content you put out! Cheers
It's me! And my failed attempt. Curse you Josh and this dang challenge! Maybe I'll try it again and go further than Geyser 😆
I hope modded Jak and Daxter challenges become a common thing on your channel, I'd love to be able to do one when I have some more time in the future.
Oh, didn't know you could finish Scout Flies in FJ, definitely one cell I missed there.
Definitely didn't like the Boggy cell staring you right in the face :)
Interesting way to get to Klaww, I jumped on the invention and fell off of it carrying the crouch state to high jump up to the edge.
Definitely a fun and interesting challenge, still sad about Snowy though...
misty island ambush thwarted by so much friendly fire that it's probably intentional
Grateful
Definitely the challenge ever, nice stuff

Mr Outrag this was extremely rude
Love this style of videos!
This was a AMAZING game for its time. It definitely deserved more
Wish I could like the video more than once. This was such a cool idea and so entertaining
I've never felt more gamer than doing this challenge blind (expect for getting up to klaaw, ngl got some help there)
These games were so good, I want these to be remastered
You can abuse the physics to jump over the fence, slide a bit, do an airstep, jump a bit further and land on a rock that allows you to jump in a crouched state and crouchjump up. In the last geyser rock power cell part.
Indeed!
i think if you do the glitch where you bring the zoomer back from misty island you might be able to get some more power cells
It felt so good to see how you could do a spin kick again. ❤
I read the title as "in a single jump" and was hella curious how that turned into a 40 min video. Great video regardless of my poor reading skills
Hahaha thank you! I tried my best to make the title not seem like I only used one single jump lol
This vid is sick

Did you get the Green Eco Collector PC after getting spin Kick?
I remember completing this challenge when the game was still freshly released.
The geyser rock jump took me a full hour to do. I was in actual pain.

I am confused
PLEASE do another challenge mod I missed it by 1 day :( wish you made more!
I'm confused, is this just a mod to have unlockable moves?
So you can, indeed, beat Jak and Daxter with Crash Bandicoot.
Ok this was perfect
Cant you use a launcher in underground that goes to orbs to launch you out of bounds, then back in bounds about where the river is?
In order to do that you would need spin to increase your hitbox, which you would not have.
Despite all the bullshit of the last 3 years, at least openGOAL is here to bring back the first videogame I ever owned and make a native PC port so I can play it some some modern amenities we sometimes take for granted.
Look mom I'm famous 😱😂, this was a fun challenge, really need more like it!
My run died before the fourth cell at geyser
It was long, and I enjoyed it 😏
I like how you used GGX KKona music at 22:02
When I was a kid I beat it without mid air spin as I didn't know it was a thing that extended range.

The only other video I've ever seen on this game is GC3k's no orb run so it feels so weird to see someone getting them now
